Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Death is re-imagined as a devoted family man whose son doesn't entirely understand his family's role in the grand scheme of things. As Dad tends to his duties, the boy performs a series of well-meaning acts with hilariously disastrous consequences.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
